RV ADVENTURE
PAYLOAD AND PRICE
As I barrelled along the freeway out of town, sitting on a comfortable 110km / h, I couldn’ t help but reflect on the beauty of motorhome travel. No need to worry about caravan sway, or negotiating tight turns at the servo pump. The Discovery was loaded up with some cutlery and plates, but the rattles and bangs from the living quarters as I drove was minimal.
The Tare of the Discovery is 2954kg( with empty reservoirs and 10L of diesel), while the GVM is 3550kg. That puts it well within spec of a standard driver’ s licence, but it does limit payload – which includes the body weight of passengers – to slightly less than 500kg. Much depends on how you travel, the number of passengers, etc.
Externally, the Discovery M660 comes with a 3.6m wind-out awning, a pull-out entry step, one 9kg gas cylinder in an offside locker, and a slide-out stainless steel barbecue on the nearside. Just connect it to the nearby bayonet coupling to use the onboard gas supply.
